[pct-l] journals

[Bill Batchelor]

Can you embed videos into the journals yet?  With the explosion of youtube,
that is becoming common practice on blogs of all sorts.  I really enjoyed
that feature on trailjournals.com   The Postholer site (yours), is very
progressive when it comes to embracing where technology is going.  The video
from the field trend is only going to expand.

I am pleased to be the first journaler (2007) to embed video clips right
into the journal.  I have received many nice comments as a result. As for
implementation, I prefer to have the video clips right IN the content and
not on some related link.  This helps to keep the content cohesive.  Links
to other locations can work, but it is a bit like having a news paper where
the related pictures are all on the back page and you need to flip back and
forth.
